Reserving Host Memory for Virtual Machines
Select the Memory tab to adjust the amount of memory reserved for all running
virtual machines.
The settings on the Memory tab applies no matter what virtual machine is running or
who is logged on to the host computer.
For more information about memory and virtual machines, see
Allocating Memory to a Virtual Machine
in the
VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide.
Adjusting Priorities for Virtual Machine Processes (Windows Hosts Only)
GSX Server for Windows gives you the option to set the priority that the Windows
process scheduler gives to your virtual machines when mouse and keyboard input are
going to a particular virtual machine and when input is not going to that virtual
machine.
You can adjust these settings to improve overall system performance based on the
relative priority of work you are doing in various virtual machines and on the host
computer.
The settings on the Priority tab apply to all virtual machines for the user currently
logged on to the host computer. The priority settings do not affect priority settings
made by any other user on the computer.
There is no corresponding setting on a Linux host.
